Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: There is one thing I don't understand. GUD bought Biotoscana one year ago I believe for almost $200M. The stock ran up 20% on that announcement to nearly $9 and now it is $5.50's. The thing I do not understand is didn't that acquisition do anything for the top or bottom line and hence give a positive light on the stock? You have said the last few months that investors are bored and waiting for an acquisition.
Isn't Biotoscana the acquisition? Thanks

Q: I am underweight consumer discretionary stocks (also underweight US stocks). I only own AMZN and REAL in this space. Considering ATZ or GRMN. Are there any others I should consider. What would be your suggestion to add? My portfolio has a mix of about 25 US and Canadian stocks based on reading your question section daily. Thanks for all you do for the independent investor!

Q: I'm still holding shares in GuestLogix and noticed that there's been some trading activity the last week or so. Any idea what's happening? They're still worthless, but they bounced 1000% from the bottom of worthless.

Q: First, thanks for the great service you provide, it is much appreciated!

I would like your thoughts on this Company for a long term hold. It looks like management has quite a bit of experience in the cannabis industry, and they have a number of offices in major N. American. Any insight into the financials and your thoughts on how the psychedelics and psychedelic-enhanced psychotherapy market will evolve would be appreciated.

Q: Another question regarding sector allocation. I am overweight in Financials (20%), but would like to add either SLF or TRI. The Financials I currently hold are: BAM, BIPC, X and VISA. Are the economic drivers sufficiently different for either SLF or TRI that I could justify further overweighting this sector? Thank you.
